Breathtaking Realism

FULL HD 3D Blu-ray Disc™ Playback

Reproduction of all image data from Hollywood 3D movies on discs

The advanced 2D image technologies of the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory have also been applied to 3D image playback, providing high quality images of the film that is approaching that of film. Lifelike 3D for beautifully reproduced images that leap off the screen with enhanced depth, luster and texture.

Adaptive Chroma Processing

Faithful color reproduction

Adaptive Chroma Processing is a high quality image-processing technology developed to precisely process each pixel of Blu-ray Disc™ video signals in the vertical and horizontal directions. Vertical color data has been increased 1.5 times (compared with 2010 models), allowing Adaptive Chroma Processing to reproduce color data more faithfully than ever before.

2D-3D Conversion

Watch 2D images in 3D

2D-3D Conversion enables conversion of 2D images on DVDs and Blu-ray™ Discs into 3D images with natural depth perception. Screen type (flat or round), and frame color are easily selectable. Watch your prized DVD movie collection in 3D for even greater viewing enjoyment. The new 2012 models can also convert content from VIERA Connect™* into 3D images of stunning depth.

24p Output for VOD

Cinematic playback for multi content

The Blu-ray Disc™ Players and Home Theaters not only play Blu-ray Discs™ and DVDs, but also video-on-demand movies content in the same 24p format as used at movie theaters. Connection to a 24p capable TV via an HDMI cable lets you enjoy a wide array of content with full cinematic picture quality.

*Requires a TV that supports 24p playback.

True to Cinema Sound Quality

3D Cinema Surround

3D surround feeling with additional depth

Cinema Surround is a state-of-the-art Panasonic technology that produces impressive theater-like surround sound. 3D Cinema Surround in the 2012 models provides authentic surround sound through a total of 30 real and virtual speakers. Sound is perceived as coming from the correct direction thanks to Panasonic’s proprietary direction perception control technology made possible by years of research. 3D Cinema Surround delivers a surround sound environment that satisfies like never before.

Anti-Jitter Digital Amplifier

Pure brilliant sound

Based on the phenomenal MASH noise shaping technology used for many years in Panasonic products, the Anti-Jitter Digital Amplifier markedly reduces jitter and distortion that can affect audio clarity, producing pure brilliant sound. The result is high quality sound with a full surround effect that rivals that of a real home theater.

BTT490 Home Theater Owner for 4 YearsI've been owner to this equipment for around 4-5 years.
Everything is great except the support / releases towards new firmware updates!! Recent Blu-Ray standards seem to fail playing on this DVD. I've tried to contact customer support with no luck.
Hopefully they'll release updates soon. That'd be greatly appreciated.
I also have the wireless rear speaker attachment FX-71 which works wonders with this system. Worked out of the box and have owned that for around 3 years. Ininitially hard to get but once they got it back in the market was very thankful for it.
Very easy to move system around to keep surface clean, etc.
Job well done Panasonic except for firmware updates!!! Please work on that thanks.

Very Good Quality Home Theater SystemI bought this Home Theater system a while back and was amazed by the sound quality and easy use of the smart Blu-Ray player. When you watch a movie you feel as if you are in a movie theater. The bass of the subwoofer was very good and clear. The towers were very good as well with shard crisp sound. The two rear spears were ok, maybe they were too far from where I was sitting but I felt they could of been a little louder. Overall I am very happy with the unit!
